Magnetic Force on Charged Particles Worksheet

This worksheet provides examples of calculating the force on charged particles moving through a magnetic field using the equation F = qvBsinθ. It gives the force, velocity, magnetic field strength, and other values for various particles such as electrons, ions, beta particles, and muons moving perpendicularly to the magnetic field. The direction of force is perpendicular to the particle's velocity and the magnetic field.
